My husband and I were raised in Catholic families in Colombia, and from an early age our parents taught us the fundamental moral principles of the Catholic religion. But on April of 1989, when we were born again, we began to understand the true meaning of being a Christian and since then our relationship with God has become more personal. Since then we began to write. José Joaquin wrote reflections about the love of God and messages of hope for humanity, and I wrote wise advice for all families everywhere.

THE GREAT VALUE OF WANTING TO...



You can get saved if you WANT TO. God is Omnipotent, Creator of heaven and earth and everything that exists, including you. He is Sovereign Lord of all that our eyes can see and all that our hands can feel. This great God can save you if you just give Him your heart!

The Lord healed the sick, raised the dead, comforting the sad, calmed the storm, multiplied the loaves, filled the net with fish, taught, and preached about the God’s Kingdom, etc.

God does not force us to receive salvation if we do not want it. He does not force anybody. When the Lord was with us, in his public life, he did not heal anyone by force; all who received healing was because they humbly asked him to. Our God all powerful, does not pressure us.

Until now I have spoken in the plural, but I will continue to speak to you in singular; I want to talk to you, because you are very important to God as well as to me. Friend, you were in the mind of God from the beginning of eternity; and He loves you so much that you alone would have been reason enough for Him to come down from Heaven and die on the cross for your sins. He gave His life and shed His divine blood for you.

I’m not saying that you’re an atheist (because the demons believe and tremble before Christ’s name but they don’t obey Him), I’m saying that maybe you don’t give God very much importance. Don’t take Jesus for granted; make Him the most important thing in your life.

 Thank you Lord for giving the great opportunity to live with you forever; this is achieved only if you accept Him. We can lose our lives in the blink of an eye. After that, we are either in Heaven or in hell! It is dangerous to not deeply consider these thoughts because God has no middle ground: there is only good or evil, light or dark. Life is short and eternity is forever. It’s time to take a life changing decision.

The Lord made us eternal as He is eternal; and we are unique.
Pray with me: Thank you my Lord, thank you very much for my existence, for remembering me, and inviting me into your kingdom, I accept you into my heart as my Lord and personal Savior, please write my name in the Lamb’s book of life; I believe in You, and I repent of all my sins, please forgive me. I love you because you first loved me. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.
Every one of us should say this. And you friend, did you do it? I hope the answer is yes because it would be of great joy, my friend, if we see each other in Heaven.

Friend, things like this everyone has surely heard, but it is good that someone like me reminds you.

With immense love and hoping to live eternity together in the presence of Jesus Christ,
